DENALI POOLS Board of Adjustment Variance Request 6302 Shadow Valley Drive July 13, 2026 Jacob Rogers, Agent for Denali Pools On behalf of Paul & Heather Fink ITEM04/1-PRESENTATION The Property Lot 28, Highland Hills Section 9, Phase 2 | Zoning: SF-3 Address 6302 Shadow Valley Drive, Austin, TX 78731 Lot Size 13,353 SF Original Pool Built 1976 — predates current Land Development Code Impervious Cover Limit 45% (6,008 SF) under SF-3 zoning Site survey — Hodgkiss Surveying, 11/24/2020 ITEM04/2-PRESENTATION The Pool Is Failing Original 1976 structure — cracked shell, can no longer hold water Structural cracking throughout the pool shell Heaving and separation at the deck joints Chronic water loss — cannot be repaired further Deteriorating stone retaining wall and surrounding hardscape A 50-year-old structure at the end of its serviceable life. ITEM04/3-PRESENTATION Deterioration in Detail Current condition of the pool and deck Algae accumulation, organic debris, and visible wear on the coping and decking are consistent with a shell that has been slowly failing for years and can no longer maintain proper water chemistry. ITEM04/4-PRESENTATION Mature Protected Trees Constrain the Lot Three large Live Oaks limit where a pool can be built Tree #1 — 42.5" Live Oak Tree #2 — 35" Live Oak Tree #6 — 32" Live Oak These are large, established trees — decades old and protected under the City's tree ordinance. Their critical root zones (shown in green) surround the existing pool on three sides, leaving no reasonable alternate location on the lot. ITEM04/5-PRESENTATION Why the Existing Footprint Is the Only Option Two site-specific factors leave no alternative to rebuilding where the pool already sits: 1. Mature protected trees Three large Live Oaks and their root zones occupy most of the remaining usable yard, ruling out relocating the pool elsewhere on the lot. 2. Steep topography The survey shows significant grade change across the lot; the existing pool sits on the one graded, buildable area. Together, these constraints mean the only realistic path forward is to demolish and rebuild in the exact same footprint. ITEM04/6-PRESENTATION What We're Proposing Demolish the failing 1976 pool and rebuild in the exact same footprint. No expansion of the pool or decking No new impervious surface — zero net change in coverage Same location as the pool that has existed since 1976 Modern, code-compliant pool with required safety barriers Pool equipment relocated into the existing garage ITEM04/7-PRESENTATION Impervious Coverage Analysis …

C15-2026-0021 / 2101 Arpdale St George Siddall additional presentation for July 13, 2026, BOA Meeting 1 ITEM05/1-PRESENTATION The house was built in 1950 on an unusually narrow corner lot (about 57 feet wide where most lots are more than 60 feet), which restricts the buildable area. The house was set back only 12 feet from the side street rather than the current requirement of 15 feet, and there is no other location for a driveway. The layout has minimal impervious cover and maximizes space for trees and gardening. Vehicles in the short drive are damaged by sun and acidic discharge and shedding of limbs from the large protected pecan tree next to the drive. 2101 Arpdale, view of driveway on Ann Arbor 2 ITEM05/2-PRESENTATION Most properties in the area are wider and require only a 5-foot side setback, allowing covered parking or awnings at least 12 feet deep alongside the house. Examples are shown in the photos beginning on page 4. In storms in May and June this year, broken tree limbs fell on at least ten properties within a block of 2101 Arpdale. Most of those properties have covered parking 5 feet or less from the side boundary, protecting vehicles from damage. In the case of 2101 Arpdale, strict adherence to the additional side setback denies the owner the reasonable protection of driveway parking that is otherwise code compliant and available to other properties in the area. The presentation submitted at the Board’s hearing on June 8, 2026, and the letter from the Zilker Neighborhood Association contain more information regarding possible code changes that could be relevant to this case. 3 ITEM05/3-PRESENTATION Variance case C15-2026-0021, examples of covered parking near 2102 Arpdale 4 ITEM05/4-PRESENTATION 5 ITEM05/5-PRESENTATION 6 ITEM05/6-PRESENTATION 7 ITEM05/7-PRESENTATION

C15-2026-0021 / 2101 Arpdale St George Siddall June 8, 2026 BOA Meeting ITEM03/1-PRESENTATION A corner lot requires a 15’ setback and is not allowed sufficient room to cover a driveway on a side street. • Most properties require only a 5’ side setback allowing room for covered parking. • The narrow width of the lot leaves no room for additional covered parking, and the existing driveway is in the only available place. ITEM03/2-PRESENTATION The two awning posts are setback 10’ with a flat 9’ cover. ITEM03/3-PRESENTATION The awning does not change the character of the area, allows for open space and visibility, and is not near neighboring property lines. ITEM03/4-PRESENTATION In contrast, setback for fencing is only 10’. A fence has posts and can be a solid barrier up to 8’ tall. Solid fences on a corner change the openness of an area and block visibility. ITEM03/5-PRESENTATION The awning provides protection from sun damage, hail damage or other related weather damage, and keeps the acidic droppings from the pecan tree off vehicles as demonstrated in the image below.

ITEM03/1-LATE BACKUP-SUPP ITEM03/2-LATE BACKUP-SUPP Re: Case C15-2026-0021 2101 Arpdale, Austin TX 78704 Board of Adjustment Agenda Item 3, June 8, 2026 To: Chair and Members of the Board of Adjustment, City of Austin On behalf of the Zoning Committee of the Zilker Neighborhood Association, I am writing to inform you that the committee is not opposed to the variance from 25-2-492 (side street setback) requested at 2101 Arpdale. Some background: Our review of this case began in March when the shade structure was cited for a violation of the “Openness of Required Yards” ordinance, 25-2-513. We approached it from the perspective of neighbors who have been asking about City regulation of shade-cloth covers, tarps, awnings, aka carport canopies, to protect cars and reduce the heat coming off of driveways. Neighbors say they are not getting clear answers from the City, and most are left with the impression that permits are not required. A few years ago, the AIA recommended revisions to the “Openness” section, making a distinction between the actual building versus "structures" that are unenclosed and detached. These shade structures are not porches or carports that are part of the house itself; they need a separate definition that acknowledges the importance of mitigating heat, along with some guidelines for safe installation. Until we have a chance to review the placement and dimensions of existing shade structures in the area, we are reluctant to refer to this one as a carport that would be subject to the same permitting as a potential garage under current code. The City is also considering other code changes that could be relevant to this case, including a reduction in the width of side street setbacks. Meanwhile, we recognize that this request presents a qualifying hardship. The findings: The case meets the necessary findings for a hardship, in that the house was built in 1950 on an unusually narrow corner lot. The house is set back only 12 feet from the side street (Ann Arbor), rather than the current code requirement of 15 feet. The driveway parking area itself conforms to code and minimizes the impervious cover on the lot, but the orientation of this side of Ann Arbor to the sun exposes the pavement to intense heat. Strict adherence to the code (either 492 or 513) appears to deny the owner the reasonable use of a shade cover for vehicles in the parking area. …
